Abstract

China still has a long way to go in the development of a strong
permitting system to reduce the pollution entering its lakes and rivers.
This Article will discuss how the Chinese government operates, the
current status of Chinese law related to the prevention of water
pollution, and the challenges connected to enforcement and public
participation. Throughout the discussion, the Article will compare
China’s Law on Prevention and Control of Water Pollution (LPCWP)
to the United States’ Clean Water Act, identify areas where China
could look to the United States as a possible model for its regulation
of water pollution, and highlight areas where the law in China might
be more innovative than the law in the United States.
